Seasonal Foods

Winter: In the winter, Moose eat twigs, branches, and birch. Summer: In the summer, moose eat softer, fresher plants than in the winter such as fresh green leaves. They eat more in the summer because there are more plants available.

How They Eat

Moose eat by scraping the bark off the tree with their two front teeth and lower jaw. To reach higher twigs, a moose sometimes walks right up to a small tree, straddles it between his legs, and keeps walking bending the tree over.
